1 Kings 8:10-16 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

10. And it came to be, when the priests came out of the Set-apart Place, that the cloud filled the House of יהוה,

11. so that the priests were unable to stand and perform the service because of the cloud, for the esteem of יהוה filled the House of יהוה.

12. And Shelomoh said, “יהוה has said He would dwell in the dark cloud.

13. I have indeed built You an exalted house, an established place for You to dwell in forever.”

14. And the sovereign turned around and blessed all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl, while all the assembly of Yisra’ĕl was standing.

15. And he said, “Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, who spoke with His mouth to my father Dawiḏ, and with His hand has filled it, saying,

16. ‘Since the day I brought My people Yisra’ĕl out of Mitsrayim, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Yisra’ĕl in which to build a house for My Name to be there, but I chose Dawiḏ to be over My people Yisra’ĕl.’
